adapter for art and culture

  1. adapter is an Opel Blitz (1975) with a multifunctional structure. It can serve the purpose of a stage or an information/ action platform as well as an exhibition venue.
  2. adapter, the purpose of which is to foster the intermediation of contemporary art and to present it in a professional manner, can be perceived as a spatial extension of various project- and exhibition venues. Through this medium not only can individual institutions extend their venues but also, if need be, they will be able to connect to other areas within their region and even beyond that region. In this way, current art events can be transported beyond the borderlines, which will engage not only the interested parties but also those who are not necessarily into culture. Our goal is to launch adapter in the year 2014 and to operate it to full capacity for the benefit of various kinds of users in the field of culture and arts.
  3. adapter does not work in a profit-oriented manner but rather works on a cost-covering and future-securing basis. The exhibition and utilisation programme has been conceptualised primarily in accordance with curatorial criteria, not at all out of solely economic concerns.
